Veteran Bigfoot Chronicler John Green Dead at Eighty-Nine

Longtime Bigfoot chronicler, advocate, and field researcher John Green has died. Green was so renowned within the Bigfoot subculture that he was elevated to a vaunted “Four Horseman” status, along with Peter Byrne, René Dahinden, and Grover Krantz—the latter two also deceased. His book On the Track of the Sasquatch was a seminal work; though not the first book on the subject, it was popular, and many of the arguments in support of the reality of Bigfoot were cemented there. The book, published in 1968, included an analysis of the centerpiece of Bigfoot advocacy, the 1967 Patterson-Gimlin film. Green later wrote two similarly short books, Year of the Sasquatch and The Sasquatch File. A much longer work, Sasquatch, the Apes Among Us, was published in 1978.
